PSE’s Solar Grants are funding to increase equitable access to the benefits of solar. Over the past seven years, PSE has awarded over $4,800,000 in total grant funding to 67 local solar projects.

These solar installations allow community-based organizations, government agencies and Tribal entities to save money through lower utility bills, increasing the funding available for them to support their communities.

The 2024-2025 Solar Grant round closed on August 14. Funding notifications will be made near the end of 2024.
